Chapter Twenty-One

The Registry office was small, much too small for Eva’s liking. She stood in the back and waited for the clerk to arrive with their marriage certificates. Tommy and Theo were both dressed in dark suits with a small flower in their lapels, which she found amusing. Zoe had thought it would appear quite normal for grooms to have flowers.

“Hey, are you alright?” Zoe asked.

“I am. This is my third wedding.”

“My second.”

Eva smiled at Zoe, who smiled back at her. “And our last.”

“What is taking that man so long?”

“Patience, Zoe.” Stella put her arm around her shoulders. “He will be back with the paperwork soon and everything will be done.”

“He did look at us a little oddly.”

The door opened and the Registry clerk entered. He pushed up his glasses and glanced around the room. “Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Lambros and Mr. and Mrs. Theodore Lambros, congratulations.”

Zoe rolled her eyes. “Do I introduce myself now as Mrs. Thomas Lambros?” she whispered.

“Yes,” Stella replied.

Eva chuckled at Zoe’s objections at being now only known by her husband’s name. She watched Tommy put his arm around Zoe’s waist.

Theo put his arm around her, and she scowled. All for show or not, she still found it rather unsettling to see Tommy with Zoe.

Tommy and Theo let go of their new wives and accepted the marriage certificates from the clerk along with the congratulatory handshakes while Eva and Zoe stayed silent.

They left the Registry office and walked out into brilliant sunshine.

Zoe turned to Eva, who was quietly walking beside her. “Are you alright?”

Eva glanced at Tommy and Theo, who were talking. Stella and Tessa were walking ahead of them. “I am fantasizing about making love to you,” she whispered.

“Oh.” Zoe fanned herself. “Let’s celebrate our wedding back at the house. You need all the practice you can get in baby making,” she said with a slight chuckle as Eva gave her a lopsided grin.
